Onboarding software is a digital tool designed to streamline and automate the process of welcoming and integrating new employees into your organisation.

It automates key processes such as managing paperwork, assigning and tracking tasks, delivering compliance content, and facilitating communication.

Consider whether you need features such as digital new hire forms and document management, employee information collection and verification, electronic signature and form completion, custom workflows, task management, and reporting and analytics.

Save time and resources by automating time-consuming tasks and streamlining the onboarding process. An onboarding solution also provides a better experience for new employees, with a dashboard and workflow to help guide their progress. It improves new employee engagement and retention, reduces time-to-productivity, and ensure compliance with company policies.

Each tool plays a unique role in the employee lifecycle. An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) supports recruitment, manages job ads, applications, and candidate progress.

Onboarding software takes over once a candidate is hired, streamlining tasks like paperwork, training, and orientation to ensure a smooth start.

A HRIS (Human Resource Information System) is a broader platform that may include ATS and onboarding, along with payroll, benefits, and employee data management.

Ideally, these systems work together to support every stage of the employee journey, from hire to retire. That’s exactly what ELMO is built for.

Our Onboarding software is built for organisations of all sizes, from growing mid-sized businesses to large enterprises. Our solution helps you streamline HR processes, enhance the onboarding experience for new hires, and save valuable time for your HR team.

Customisable workflows allow you to create a bespoke employee onboarding experience specific to the role and employee needs. This keeps new hires engaged and reduces time to productivity.
